My friend is trying to offload some of his baby red humps, I do not have a cichlid only tank, I've got rainbows, Congo tetra, anglefish, killifish, albino Corey's n bristlenose. I've got 200L tank. Would these fish be suitable for my community? If so, what ratio male to female is best? I read...

I had betta in a tank on his own and he did what yours is doing, I thought it was due to him seeing his reflection but I've decided to put him in my community as further research shows that this fish has a bad rep for no reason. They are only aggressive toward males of the same species and...

Can someone identify whether this fry is platy or Molly as I have both in my tank and not sure who's fry this is.

Hello, I have fry in my tank but have platys and Molly's and want to know who's fry they are, are they platys or Molly's, I'm not sure how to tell at this stage as there still tiny lol! Is there an easy tell tale sign to tell the difference? Thanks

Hi all, I've recently got myself a male dwarf gourami and have noticed some odd behaviour and was wondering if it's normal?! All he does all day is swim up and down the glass side of the tank with his tail cocked to the side?! I'm not sure if he's looking at his reflection but it looks very...

My barb has got a slight black stripe across its side so would that mean he Is a cherry barb?! I can't capture it on the pics! Also I got a 120L tank so not huge but I'm becoming more fascinated in the hobby and will probably invest in bigger tank soon. I've still got my L plates on at mo! Lol

Thanks for the info! They look like an awesome fish!!

Thanks for all your advice! The tank was a state when I first acquired it but after several PWC and using the API master testing kit we have got there. 0ppm ammonia 0ppm NO2 and 20ppm NO3. I've seen 6 fry but the little things are hard to count, there super fast swimmers!! But will take good...

Thank you very much, that's very helpful. Ive read the link you sent me about the rose barb so now I can prepare myself, lol! And not sure still about my platy being pregnant but tonight we got baby fish swimming about but looking at them they look like baby Molly's as there all black and they...

You can see the black marking on his head more on this pic. Not sure if that's supposed to be there or if there's something wrong with it? Also can you tell If it's male or female from the pics??

It looks like the same shape. But it's more of a red/orange colour with a slight black marking on its side and head, I'll try get a better pic.

Thank you, will it be ok to have one gourami or will he need a gourami friend?? And can you recommend a good bottom feeder that's not aggressive. The ones I've read about so far seem to have an aggressive side lol! Thanks

Thank you for your help, that's why I thought she was pregnant with the dark spot, but didn't know if that was there as she's pretty see-through! Lol! I've got a lot to learn. I'll keep an eye on her.

Hello, I'm new to this hobby and just acquired some fish and a tank, and the tank was already stocked, but can anyone tell me if this platy is pregnant? And the little red fish, can anyone help me identify it? Looking on web I think it might be a cherry barb?? Any help please? Sorry for rubbish...

Hello, just found this site as I'm new to the hobby and hoping To get some good advice, and tips! Recently got a tank from someone as the actual owner had died! So didn't expect to be in at the deep end with fish and not much knowledge, so all I've been doing is researching everything. Tank...
